Antiroo 🔞The Death's-head Hawkmoth (or Acherontia Styx) is iconic. In antiquity, moths and butterflies were said to represent a person's soul. Today they often represent rebirth, and cycles of life and death. In this design I've tried to incorporate some of those themes with the inclusion of a Latin language riddle (also known as an Aenigma).<a href="https://yiff.life/tags/bugstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bugstodon</a> <a href="https://yiff.life/tags/hawkmoth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hawkmoth</a> <a href="https://yiff.life/tags/moths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moths</a> <a href="https://yiff.life/tags/bugs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bugs</a> <a href="https://yiff.life/tags/LinguaLatina" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LinguaLatina</a> <a href="https://yiff.life/tags/enigma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enigma</a> <a href="https://yiff.life/tags/gothic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gothic</a> <a href="https://yiff.life/tags/occultism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#occultism</a> <a href="https://yiff.life/tags/clothing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#clothing</a> <a href="https://yiff.life/tags/clothingsale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#clothingsale</a> <a href="https://yiff.life/tags/digitalart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#digitalart</a>

Kazue MinoYesterday, I saw a hawk moth lying on the ground and thought it died a natural death sadly. But then this morning, when I went to the same place I saw a very similar looking hawk moth perching on the wall. Can it be the same one?😲 Maybe it hit its head or something, got unconscious, and came round later? <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/hawkmoth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hawkmoth</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/moth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moth</a>

Alice 🐝Please observe le bébé… France excuse me what?? I found this giant fella hiding in a wooden bench, I think I gasped about 5 times in a row when I saw it, I’d never found one of these before I had to resist the temptation to give it a lil kissy on its massive forehead :blobaww: <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/bugstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bugstodon</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/moth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moth</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/hawkmoth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hawkmoth</a>

Ele Willoughby, PhDIt’s National Moth Week, July 20-28, to celebrate the beauty, lifecycles and habitat of moths, so I’m reposting my eclipse of moths (the delightful term of venery for a group of moths) and also for my <a href="https://spore.social/tags/InsertAnInvert2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InsertAnInvert2024</a> wildcard week.
